bush, but obama has expanded. media hypocrisy? >> there has been condemination on the left of the drone policy. o'reilly is wrong there. but his point is actually fairly well taken. we haven't had quite the same robust debate about whether this is an effective policy of moral policy as we have had for many years and that's part of it about the waterboarding and enhanced interrogation. the fact is, the drone policy is relatively new and that's part of the problem here. is that we've only been dealing with it for four, five years. it will take some time to get us to the same level of outrage, i think, as we have about waterboarding and torture. >> i would like to commend o'reilly, actually, for putting this issue forsquare in front of people. this is a really big thing, as i say. the question is, do the media lead or follow? the point you made about john mccain speaking out. drones, we are, there is sort of unilateral decisionmaking about who lives and who dies from the sky. there is a lot of civilian consequence in all of this. >>

but as we heard, senator patrick leahy said, this is now in the hands of president obama. how he would take this group's recommendations once they rern to washington. >> patrick, briefly, tell us about this. what some call the alan gross situation. it's been behind the scenes at least a little bit of a thawing in relations between the u.s. and cuba. how damaging is this? >> it's incredibly damaging because on one side, cuba is saying there are five cuban intelligence agents they would like to see returned. they would consider to be heroes, and the u.s. would consider them to be spies tried by prosecutors in miami. when you hear patrick leahy saying alan gross isn't a spy, what he's really saying is what the state department said all along. there won't be a swap. these are two different situations. the cubans obviously feel very, very differently. they've been pressuring the u.s. ever since last year to sit and talk and potentially discuss a swap between what they call their prisoners and the one that's still here in havana. i should add that patrick leahy and another congr

and i do think the democrats and president obama got off pretty lightly so far. what is your position on this? i mean, at what stage does the drone activity cease to be legitimate targeting of terrorism and become a kind of glorified, very brutal, very lethal fishing expedition? >> well, it has to be done very carefully. very uniquely. you have to be 100% sure you've got the right person and you're not making a mistake. i agree with you completely that if this had been done by george bush or any other republican, we'd be talking about hearings before congress. we would have some people talking about impeachment. for the life of me, i can't figure out why george bush got so much heat for waterboarding three people, and president obama has killed scores of people. and i probably agree with the decisions that president obama made, so i'm not saying he shouldn't have made those decisions. and i can't say they weren't the right decisions, but i think those decisions would have been scrutinized very heavily. from the point of view of a terrorist, would you rather be wa
